yes Miche, https://www.netmums.com
there are professionals on there who can help and if you go to Coffeehouse chat, there are other mums who will have been in the same situation who can give advice and support.
Have you tried your local Surestart/Children's Centre? They may have someone who can give you advice too.
I am a volunteer Chairmum of our area Netmums Meetups. That means I organise at least 6 events a year, that encourage mummies,daddies, carers to come along and meet other people, and hopefully bond new friendships that will help and support them.
We both know as mums, how hard it is when you first become a mum to make new mummy friends, I really struggled. I did the meet a mum on netmums, but one mum I actually got to meet, I didn't gel with, and that experience put me off and I never tried again.
Instead I went to a baby group with DS from 3 months, and "forced" 2 mums to go with me for a coffee after the baby group, I tried it with other mums but whether they were just too shy, had enough mummy friends, etc, those friendships didn't pan out. I am pleased to say the 2 mummies I dragged kicking and screaming to the coffee place are good friends of mine. They support me and I support them. That is nearly 3 years worth of friendship
Hence why I have become chairmum of my area group. I want other mummies to be able to make friendships, it's not easy and when you are shy, even harder.
The reason we are going to the Fire Station, I organised the visit, as it is very popular with the Chairmum netmums. They always get a good turn out. It is free, most kids are into the fire engines for a short time and the firemen are great with showing them around, etc.
Plus DS missed out last month, his nursery had Firemen come in with the Fire Engine, but it was on a day he wasn't at the nursery.
Miche, you can always e-mail if you want to sound off, have a chat, etc. If I am at work, Mon-Wed, probably won't reply until evening but otherwise, am usually glued to phone....:rotfl:
A maze of info on there. Even more so many ideas for both the girls.
I haven't looked at the local part yet, scared too lol0 -
